Quaint Cottage with lake access.<br>

A great spot in northern Michigan to unwind. The cottage is within walking distance to Houghton Lake where you can relax, catch the sunset/sunrise, feed the ducks, sit on the dock while soaking your feet in the water! Or you can enjoy a swim, fish, boat, kayak and so much more! The cottage is walking distance to a local bar/restaurant and 5 miles from Higgins Lake South State Park. If you are a golfer, there are many courses nearby, including one of Michigans best courses, Forest Dunes. There is a home generator-so you never have to worry about losing power in case of unexpected weather. If you have children, this is a great spot to bring them as they will love the water, parks, miniature golf, the beach, ice cream and the Roscommon Zoo.
There is a fire pit for a bon-fire and s’mores. There is a detached garage that will fit your boat or other water toys and in the winter-your snowmobiles or ice fishing gear! This is a cozy cottage that is sure to bring a warm welcome and lasting memories.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a sofa bed.

Very cute!

This was a very cute cottage and true to the description. It was clean and well stocked. All we needed to bring were our clothes, food and drinks. We will definitely keep this cottage in mind if heading to Houghton Lake again.

Nice small house

The house was great for my husband and I and 2 young girls. We spent our weekend at South Higgins Lake State. The house is small but fit our needs.

Great spot near the lake

We had a great time at Ashley’s cottage near the lake. There are a lot of convenient amenities that make it a great stay- lots of kitchen amenities, BBQ grill, plenty of towels, a nice outdoor space and little finishing touches like make up wipes, QTips, hair dryer etc in case you forgot yours. We had a few questions during our stay and she was very responsive. The house was very clean. And the location was perfect, Spikehorn is a nice watering hole with MI craft beer, Tip Top has excellent ice cream, and Buccelli’s had great pizza. Would book this property again!

Peaceful retreat

Everything inside and outside was great. Pretty much everything you would need is in the kitchen and bathroom. Masterbed seems more like a Full then Queen. Loved the easy lake access and everyone was very friendly on the street. Even just sitting in the back yard was wonderful. Would definetly recommend.
